T<\/span>o go from the drawing board to the boardroom, you need interdisciplinary teamwork. So that\u2019s exactly what we teach.<\/p>\n

In our Product Innovation Lab, for example, we task graduate students with real product development challenges by having them team up with their counterparts from other fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach team is a mix of MBAs, designers, and engineers, so everyone gets exposed to all three areas,\u201d says Jon Bohlmann, professor of marketing and innovation. \u201cBut it’s more than mere exposure. This is about the hard work of devising an innovative solution to a market need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teams enjoy access to the resources of three NC State colleges, including a cutting-edge prototyping lab that\u2019s helped to create everything from animal prosthetics to devices that aid patients with asthma. Many of those concepts have gone on to attract significant venture capital. Jusk ask London White, a Jenkins MBA student who\u2019s launched three companies during his time at Poole College, including one that sprung from the Product Innovation Lab.<\/p>\n

White also took part in our Entrepreneurship and Technology Commercialization (TEC) concentration, where MBA students collaborate with graduate students from other disciplines \u2014 including scientists, engineers and designers \u2014 to build a high-growth startup. White teamed up with graduate engineers to turn a shelved medical patent into a method for better preserving red blood cells.<\/p>\n

Poole College fosters multidisciplinary academic partnerships like these because they make collaborating with other professionals second nature for our students. Other partnerships can be seen in our collaborative faculty research, in the interdisciplinary teams of undergraduate students within the Entrepreneurship Clinic and in our partnership programs such as Financial Mathematics and Global Luxury Management.<\/p>\n
